Your power supply is fine.
Keep your motherboard - it's fine. I game at 4k on an Asus 3000 series chipset (the original AMD4 mobo) with no problems.
Do not spend extra on an "x3D" class processor as you are going to have a graphics card bottleneck at 4k unless you plan to buy a 4090 which I...
I thought twice about posting this as you seem to have committed to renewing all your components - but I noticed you run two screens and are mixing DP and HDMI connectors. Did you try with just a single screen to test if you got an output? I have had major issues in the past mixing both output...
The fact the system was originally stable then started misbehaving a couple of weeks ago indicates something is failing. As you can get it to start with the integrated gpu and have added a new psu suggests a single component is failing intermittently - but which one? The holy grail are the cpu...
I have a KVM built into my (BenQ) monitor and love it. I have my own system with a dual monitor setup and at the flick of a switch can use my company laptop to WFH with two screens.
Native - at 4k
GPU - 6800XT
CPU - 5700X
I run dual monitors with second an asus hi-refresh screen @1440 - but never actually use it for gaming as I much prefer the quality of a 4k screen for gaming.
I leave mine until the temps start rising quite a lot - can take three to four years although depends upon processor temps, type of fan, case cooling and quality of thermal paste. Poor components and/or high temps could be a lot sooner.
Having waited over three years to buy an xx80 series video card from Nvidia I gave up today and bought two 6800XT's instead - one for me and one for my son. I needed something with plenty of grunt to push my 4k 32inch primary monitor and 27inch 165Hz secondary monitor. Having decided I wasn't...
I have read through all of the posts and advice in this thread and hesitated before writing anything but....have you considered if you have bought the right card for what you want? GPU bench-marking sites like hardwareDB (1% overall difference) and userbenchmark (14% difference) show there is...
Bit of a long shot as you seem to have done all the usual stuff. As your board is an Asus does it have a "PBO Fmax Enhancer" setting in the BIOS? If so try disabling it as it is nothing to do with AMD and it overrides AMD's defaults and sometimes pushes too much power into the CPU.
I agree with both of the above comments - any PC with an RTX 3060 or greater will use more power than a TV/PS5 combo. Having an Intel chip just adds to the power consumption.
I have seen a few Youtube videos on this from sites such as Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed. Give this one a try and see what you think...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhMYmEu8gks
You won't go far wrong with the items you have listed for your upgrade. Only suggestion I have is to swap the memory for 4 sticks of 8MB each - the old mantra that 2 sticks of RAM is best has been stood on its head by the new generation of Ryzen processors which generally give better results (ie...
Would you mind posting all of the other components in your PC as it is theoretically possible that your PSU just can't produce sufficient power and in those events something has to give - especially when the system gets fully loaded. That means:
* Power Supply
* Graphics Card
* Processor
*...
Well bugg** me! VaderDSL was right on the money with his suggestion about loosening off the heatsink screws by half- a turn. I just did that a few minutes ago, stuck in the fourth stick of RAM and it booted straight into windows first pop with all 32GB of RAM showing and at DDR3200.
Thanks for...
